Since I don't like chasing conversations all over Wikipedia, If you leave me a message, I'll answer it now in this Talk page, so please add it temporarily to your watchlist after writing here. drini☎
Thanks for your time -- I'm sorry to be wasting various resources.
Do you know if Special:Export will get its full-history exports feature back? If so, and it's not a problem, I'd prefer to leave the pages as redirects for a bit and get the histories.
But if they really should be deleted now, that's fine. I have archives of the current versions.
No thye don't have to be exported right now, take your time, when you're done with them, drop me a note. I don't know about that feature by the way -- ( drini's page☎ ) 05:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks
Many thanks for reverting Squidward on my talk, although I couldn't help but laugh at his edit summary. :) Thanks again Banez07:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"I must note something very important for future editors of this page (also try to observe this for any non English speaking band or author... etc): If you see a single, album, dvd, concert, or book title that contains poor grammar, please consider that even though the English spelling or grammar may be incorrect, that it still may actually be the official title. If someone is searching for the single, and cannot find it the official way... then what good is wiki? Please do not tamper with titles unless you have found hard evidence that the title has been written incorrectly from the official spelling. also note, some OFFICIAL japanese titles are titled in all CAPS (or with stars and hearts or other "non-letter/number characters) this is NOT a mistake, please leave them like this. All one must do is observe the picture or written info of the single/album/book on the official page which is linked in the article at the bottom. Please help keep wikipedia encyclopedic and correct! Thank you. -- "
That's what a moderator announced. The original title of that release is AROUND THE WORLD, not Around The World.
It is NOT my opinion. On each artist page there is a Discography list. On this list are album and song titles that are in English, but since the Japanese artist doesn't speak English natively the OFFICIAL titles have spelling and grammar errors or symbols, or all lowercase, or all caps, HOWEVER this does NOT CHANGE the fact that those are the OFFICIAL titles, written the OFFICIAL way that the artist and record lable decided to use. For EXAMPLE, on the Shaka Labbit's page, there is a list of albums. One of the albums is called "Exploring of the space" EXACTLY LIKE THAT, someone who doesn't know j-music went in and ASSUMED it was wrong and changed the OFFICIAL "Exploring of the space" album title to "Exploring Space" which is WRONG and DOES NOT EXIST. If someone came to wiki and wanted to know who made the album called "Exploring of the space" and that edit was not fixed they would not be able to find the correct page. When you do a wiki search it searching all words within the article, by the way. I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT WIKILINKS, EVER. Anyone who didn't understand my comment clearly needs to learn to let information soak in before having a knee-jerk reaction. That's all. Just sayin'. Good day. -- NatsukiGirl\talk02:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Simply because wikipedia needs correct information, and those are the original titles. Japanese industry is different from occidental, and you'll never see Ami's song written "Around The World" never anywhere. Clouded04:13, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar with all the sites you listed, but right off the bat I'm eager to inform you that CDJapan is NOTORIOUS for mispelling official titles. For example, YUKI's single "nagai yume" (trans: long dream) was listed for a long time on CDJapan as "Bye Bye." CDJapan is a store, not an info site. You are losing this battle, and rightfully so. -- NatsukiGirl\talk02:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The point is, you and other people need to back off from artists you don't know very well. For example, someone like you who doesn't now YUKI or Shaka Labbits or Judy and Mary has NO business trying to make crucial edits to those pages. As I fan I have a ROCK SOLID understanding (and a full collection of CDs, books, and goods as reference) of the titles and how they officially are. I don't need English grammar majors swooping down thinking they are going to edit the official title of a song they've never even HEARD OF. One of the early singles by Shaka Labbits, for example, is called ROLLIE. Not rollie, not Rollie, and not Rolly... it's ROLLIE. So on the discography list, I put 'ROLLIE' and no one should change it. -- NatsukiGirl\talk02:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ehhh if you look well, that's not the link of Ami's album or single "AROUND THE WORLD", that's Ami Live DVD "SUZUKI AMI AROUND THE WORLD LIVE HOUSE TOUR 2005" (Anyway in CDJapan the title of that release is written wrong; i will e-mail them for people to don't make mistakes again like you're doing now).
and I'm talking reliable pages, not asian shoping pages where people writes the names whatever they want.
Really if you are a moderator here you should inform yourself better before protecting a page that is with an incorrect title.
Yes I'm pointing that your claim was false. Both ways are also seen. Also, if the cdcover were done in Arial font, would that mean not using arial makes the title incorrect? No, because typesetting bears no relevance to proper title. I'm informed about wikipedia conventions, and I'm enforcing them. Natsuki opinion was just that, an opinion, and so far I've seen no clear consensus to break a well stablished article naming convention. meta:The_wrong_version
Really, if you want to be an editor, you should inform better about our procedures and guidelines. Article title is NOT incorrect. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 04:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
yes, it is incorrect, and those sites that you posted (jpophelp and japan today?) are not even japanese sites, and they're making the same mistakes that you're doing now. But anyways as i'm not a moderator of anything i can do anything more about this... You would like to change also all the titles that are in capitalizations of Japanese singles and albums also. (Try looking in Ayumi Hamasaki article, were "wikipedia conventions" are being broken in many of the singles and albums. Good luck. Clouded04:59, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not discussing the album name. I'm only stating (and standing for) tht the article title is the correct one as I protected it. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 05:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The correct article title is the one that follows the guideline. for instance "KAMEN" song is not named "KAMEN (song)" but "KAMEN", right? so the title is wrong!! it's not equal to the album's name!!. But thanks anyway for the list. I'll fix those as well. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 05:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you know, I've decided not to take part of the issue anymore. So what people decides, will be, (be it caps or no caps) It's not really my problem. I'm not reverting anymore, but I?m not unprotecting either (for now) given that no discussion about it was shown to me. But really, whatever it happens, I'll be fine with it. I'm not even looking at it anymore. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 05:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But Clouded was talking about article title/links. And since he moved it several times and refused to understand , I had to protect the articles for some time. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 20:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But i think it's not fair... now i can't add information to the AROUND THE WORLD articles that i was about to add like the producers and other stuff, and articles like MY STORY and RAINBOW are still in that way >.<
ok, I will unprotect if you promise not to move them back until further consensus is gained. (by the way that talk page was not policy, just an opinion) -- ( drini's page☎ ) 06:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, for future suggestion, when you want to discuss/dispute something that effects all pages, reply to them with a link back to here, instead of your opinion, so that the discussion OP can be sure that all people seeing it won't think it went un discussed. I don't want to have to run around and answer hem all, however, if you go back though and put links back to your talk page, explaining to come here for discussion, everyone can join in and be in the right place and get all the replies. Thanks. -- NatsukiGirl\talk19:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It would help if you weren't putting ambiguous statements on a lot of talk pages which caused people to believe there's a "policy" (sic) that tells them to move the article titles to all uppercase. And if it was indee discussed, you should've provided links to the central discussion when you posted your message in dozen of talks. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 20:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't ambiguous, and it didn't tell anyone to change any freaking article titles. Like I said, READ CAREFULLY. You are a piece of freaking work, you know that right? This is NOT an issue need to understand, it is WELL within my juristiction as an avid j-music collector to inform NON-fans who like to correct spelling and grammar everywhere that SOME ASIAN SONGS TITLES LISTED under discography on the artist pages SHOULD NOT BE TAMPERED WITH. I am SICK of your crap. Learn to read and process information or get off wiki. You CANNOT change the title of a book or CD just because you don't like how the grammar looks... this is ALREADY a wiki rule. People just knee-jerk correct grammar on titles without thinking about if it's really a mispelling, or if it's purposeful or official. THAT is what I was preventing from happening with my note. If you look at the Shaka Labbit's page for example, there is an album called "Exploring of the space" some idiot came in and changed it to "Exploring Space" which is NOT THE TITLE OF THE CD. Do you get it? I don't have all day to explain this to you. Also, I have no idea who Cloud is, and if you would like to argue with his issue, please move it away from mine. Also, if it was reading my note that made Cloud change a link, then you should yell at him, and he shouldn't be allowed to make edits if he can't read and think critically. -- NatsukiGirl\talk02:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Since I don't like chasing conversations all over Wikipedia
Do as I say not as I do huh? Next time read what people wrote carefully. You are arguing over my opinion that info within articles should be correct... as if I had said wikilink text should be all caps or something. You need to not assume things and read carefully before chasing MY discussions around and making making me have to run all over. I think you should go around and inform everyone on the j-music talk pages that you have a discussion about it here. You are being very annoying and hypocritical by causing such a tizzy over something you were incorrect about in the first place. Unprotect all the pages you locked down because no one CARES about your link convensions, we only want the article body text itself to contain the correct info. -- NatsukiGirl\talk19:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't the first time I've had to correct you on something either... I'm starting to wonder about you. People who rush around making changes without knowing what is going on disturb me... wikipedia doesn't need that kind of headache to add to all the other problems it has. -- NatsukiGirl\talk19:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not chasing you, so stop calling me hypocritical. All this surfaced since Clouded kept moving the article titles, and when asked about it, he pointed me to you. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 20:12, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
ok Natsuki, so now it's time for me to correct you. The whole argument happened because Clouded was moving back the article "All around the world (album)" to "ALL AROUND THE WORLD", and when fixed, he kept redoing it so. I asked him why, and his reply here I quote: according to the new policy about Japanese music he was entitled to. I asked about it and he told me that you were the one saying it. You write:
I wasn't talking about article title/link, I was talking about the info WITHIN the article. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 19:50, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
but then you didn't state it otherwise, you weren't clear enough. And people were moving article titles0 to all uppercase. And that was I was trying to explain to Clouded, that I was not talking about song names, but about article titles.
No one is arguing about the LINK name, I was ONLY talking about how the text appears when being read within the article. -- NatsukiGirl\talk 19:40, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes I agree, you weren't arguing about it, but Clouded was, and it was because of your many posts. So don't tell me "no one" is arguing about the article title now. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 20:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It as most CERTAINLY NOT from my posts. It's because Cloud made the mistake I suppose I'm accusing you for. Now that you understand what my notes are for go punish Cloud and stop accusing me of saying things that I didn't say. As my notes ALL CLEARLY STATE I'm talking about the lists of albums and singles in the discography sections of each artist page. People keep going in and correcting spelling and grammar on official titles on ARTIST pages. I said NOTHING about album or simple pages... ARTIST pages. Thank you. -- NatsukiGirl\talk02:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
